Celebs define 'unstoppable'

L’Oreal Paris Femina Women Awards are a celebration of unstoppable women achievers from all walks of life. At the event, we caught up with our celebrity guests and asked them according to them makes a woman unstoppable. Read on as celebs share their definitions of “Being Unstoppable” and reveal their unstoppable moments.

Huma Qureshi: Not letting what other’s think of you pull you down and keep your focus on achieving your goals makes a woman unstoppable.

Sonam Kapoor: I have been so closely associated with L’Oreal Paris Femina Women Awards over the years and got to meet the nominees and winners. For me, these women of worth define all that an unstoppable woman should be.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Every woman can be unstoppable if she is determined and does not let other’s opinions affect her.

Rekha Bharadwaj: Every woman is unstoppable. Every woman is so bold and complete in herself, even without support, if she has the will she can achieve anything she wants. Women manage so many roles – follow her passion, go to work, be a homemaker and be on trend with fashion and beauty, for me, every woman is unstoppable.

Gauhar Khan: I have a lot of crazy things happening in my life and I still keep going ahead with it and trying to get away from all the traumas. People call me the mishap child. So I am unstoppable! One moment being attacked by someone from the male species can be very traumatic. But here I am living as if nothing happened, trying to get past it. I don’t forget it even for a second but getting on stage just 20 minutes after the incident happened that was my unstoppable moment.

Supriya Pathak: A woman who always wants to better herself and also take care of people around her. My unstoppable moment came when I proved everyone wrong. When I was a young girl, everybody used to think that I will not be able to do anything in life. They just wanted me to find a boy and get married. I wasn’t very good in studies and an introvert therefore people were convinced that I can do nothing. But when my father expired, I was very young and I just changed. I felt that I have to now do everything that people feel I can’t and choose my own path. And here I am.

Shilpa Rao: I feel all women have it in them to be unstoppable. All women in their minds are unstoppable. They stay calm about certain situations but never let go of their dreams and goals that makes them go-getters. I was labeled by people in the industry. They said ‘this is the kind of voice you have and this is the kind of music you can do.’ It was a hurdle but I have gone beyond what people were limiting me to, broke the stereotypes.

Ritu Kumar: The one who believes in what she is doing and not worried about the result that is going to come out of what she is doing. The women we are celebrating today at the L’Oreal Paris Femina Awards come from there. They have not been in the limelight, they are people from the rural areas, working on health, cleanliness, for people in the red light areas – none of these are careers that most go for. It is great that Femina has located people who have done so much work in their respective fields. Every determined woman is unstoppable.

Prasoon Joshi: A woman who never gives up. Society hasn’t been fair towards women and women who understand that they will have to fight for it and it will be a long fight is my unstoppable woman. She is also a woman who really understands the practical problems of being a woman and who knows that change will not come easy.

Zaheer Khan: My mother epitomises all the qualities of an unstoppable woman for me. My mother has been in a hectic job and yet has taken care of the home, and instilled great values in all of us kids. We are three brothers and when three kids come together it is chaos and yet she managed it all so wonderfully. She has been truly unstoppable.

Elli Avram: Being confident and respecting and loving yourself makes you unstoppable.

Walushcha D’Souza: There will be several lows that we all face and will face in our life. But the one who come out of every low and blow smiling and ready for the next challenge that life throws at us is truly an unstoppable woman.
